2014 Field Day Pictures

The operating position for DIGITAL was a luxorious motor home, located in the far NorthWest corner of the FD site. The DIGITAL station used two antennas: a 20M dipole antenna mounted on top of the motorhome, and a Cushcraft multiband verticle, off the picture to the left.

The call letters W6ETC were used for this year's GOTA. The GOTA attracted visitors and Scouts. Here co-captain  Tim N6TMT (with hat, but mostly hidden) helps a visitor make a QSO...while Scouts listen on and wait their turn. Co-captain Tom W6ETC is working on a ground wire (in white shirt).

GOTA co-captain Tom W6ETC instructs one of the scouts to make his first QSO.

The GOTA station used a multi-band beam for 20M/15M/10M

The Boy Scout encampment was still quiet on Sunday morning before the breakfast arrived. Scout leader Greg WQ9P reported that "the school was a nice place to camp overnight."

Of course, some of the older scouts wanted to test their stamina by staying awake the entire night sitting and talking on the parking lot.

On Sunday morning, breakfast was brought in from McDonalds, Starbucks, and OJ from a local grocery store.  On the left-side is Ass't Scoutmaster Greg WQ9P. On the right-hand-side are Ken W6HHC (green shirt) and Tim N6GP in hat.

"El Presidente" Nicholas AF6CF volunteered to set-up his solar power system at FD. The panel shown here was able to power the some VHF/UHF stations for Field Day bonus points.

The tear-down crew is seen here "swarming" around the 40M PHN tower after it was lowered to the ground after FD is over.

2014 Field Day operation is over and the Sunday tear-down is about to begin.  Here's the huge great crew who stayed to the end to make tear-down and clean-up easy...including the many Boy Scouts of Troop 788 (mostlly in the red shirts)
